two eyes
when met and matched

unlocked
the code
of encrypted hearts

thirst lived in them
a quiet wandering

until one day
they did not search

they arrived

two hearts
cracked open
edges remembering pain

leaned closer

not to fix
but to feel

and something within
began to mend

traffic snarled

horns screamed

words burned
in restless mouths

they did not move

for them
the world paused
somewhere far behind

the sun pressed down
without mercy

yet two souls
turned to frost

and the only thing melting

was not the day

but them

slowly
softly

becoming each other

a touch
on the shoulder

gravity returning

and suddenly

all the chaos
they once carried

felt smaller

than this moment

they chose

from a distance

through a borrowed gaze

i watched

two hands
finding each other

in a pocket of shade

perhaps
i should have left

but curiosity
has its own will

and love

moves beyond logic

slips past manners

and asks for no proof
